A Montauk Spring Escape

I will try not to sound too New York and enter the cycle of "how it used to be" but this was Montauk before the craziness...ok I just did it in spite of myself. I guess we are all part of ushering in the next cycle that is unavoidable. I saw the other day a piece about Key West in the 1940s and other hot spots of various decades and how Montauk was now. I thought of the crowds now and as an introvert who does not like huge crowds, my distaste immediately surfaces. Yet even going there brings in the next 'generation' so to speak. It is inevitable and out of our control, so might as well be at peace with it and at least know, once upon a time, it was peaceful, and maybe it did bring in funds for the locals who had always been there, so maybe they benefited and not just big developers and minor or local celebrity hotel and hot spot owners...
